About

I am a beginner started the game on Easter 2014 in full affect. Have had the bug ever since and all I want to do is to improve my game to compete with my best friend and coworkers who are on average 5 yrs ahead of me. I never knew that Golf is such a fun, relaxing sport that I can continue playing till the day I die. Thanks to all the Golf Legends that make the game exciting to follow.

Disappointing Greens

I’ve been here before where the greens were much better than today. It’s like playing “Plinko” on The Price Is Right. I believe that I would have 5 putts in the cup if the greens were halfway decent. Not sure if it was lack of maintenance or just time of the season.

Present condition of the greens resulted from 2 severe floods/freezes in December 2018 & January 2019. Recovery programs have begun now that the grass is growing, Thank you for sharing your thoughts,.

West Fork Greens

I played here a few years ago when I first started playing the game. Today's round was good with a 88, could have been better if it wasn't for the "Plinko" style greens. I'm sorry to say but, the greens were horrible. Not one was even decent enough to have the ball roll straight to the cup. Now, I don't know if it's lack of maintenance or just the time of the year in South East Texas. At least five putts were misdirected due to the "Plinko" effect on the greens. I hope that they take care of the course ASAP.

Ricardo,
The greens sustained damage during 2 severe floods in December 2018/January 2019.
The beginning of the growing season is expected to provide improvement along with an aggressive recovery program. Hope you'll give us a mulligan this summer.

Disappointed at GolfNow

Golf Now is a sinking vessel. Customer Service, refunds and advertising is horrible. This course is under repairs, all 18 holes or being redone. Makeshift greens are set up on the fairways. Tee boxes and fairways were not well taken care off, due to the maintenance been concentrated on the greens. GolfNow has been advised many times by Golf Pro that the greens are been redone, but they don't advertise till the end when making final purchase on a little disclosure. Five holes was I able to play and decided to get a refund. But knowing GolfNow they don't give back money refunds only codes that need 3 days advance notice and after 12:00 pm. The Golf Pro was able to give me a Courtesy Raincheck round good for a year. Greens will be ready for July 4th weekend. Word of advise to the Course Management. Breakaway from GolfNow, don't renew contract. You save more without GolfNow.

Keeps getting better at every visit!

I like this golf course. I started playing golf with this course 4 years ago. Every time I book a round, lately it keeps getting better and better. Today the greens were a rate of 8/10. Although, the Tee boxes need some work. Today I shot my personal best in that course with a 82 with 1 lost ball into private property. Layout is great for draws and fades of the tee. Definitely recommend this course.

Great Replica

This course has been my favorite for the location and price on Hot Deals. With the weather at 54* and winds of 10-15 mph, it made it very challenging. With the weather challenges and the course itself, I was surprised I played well. Only lost a sleeve due to high winds and Ball carried to unreachable backyards. Nevertheless, it’s one of my favorite courses to play.

What happened to the greens?

First and foremost I want to say that this course is a hidden gem in the Houston area. I learned how to play golf here by putting my practice on the range to the test. The course conditions this time were a 5/10. When the last time I played here it was a 8/10 on the greens and tees. Maybe the heavy rain during last week may have caused some damage but I’m no expert. Anyhow, this course is great because of pace of play.

Summer Time Blues

Great course condition but the Houston Summer heat and humidity makes the course challenging. Tee time was at 7:20 am and the mid summer heat/humidity was phenomenal. The course played well mid round as the dew dried out and greens were firming up. Great value for the price.

Looking Much Better

Wow, this course has done some tremendous upkeep. FYI...they are still working on bunkers (drainage), but the greens are looking better than last year. I started playing this course 3 yrs ago and I play it every other month. The change is very noticeable.

Due to recent freeze and snow the course rough and fairways are dormant dry. Greens were fast and dry but appear to be well taken care off if not for the freeze. Great layout and pace of play was good too. Will definitely come back again.

Tough Course

First time playing here and the conditions were good dispite Hurricane Harvey. Very challenging course with lots of hazards. I noticed that the scorecard only had the pin locations on each hole. No layout discription of what to expect. My guess is a way to make you buy a yardage book. I do recommend this course to those looking for a challenge.

Great Hidden Course

This is a course I started playing golf on 2 1/2 years ago. It has been about a year since I noticed that they have done great Course maintenance and upkeep. Greens are getting better every time I come and play. Fairways are nice mown too. It has surely turned around and I plan to continue coming back. Pace of play is excellent for me and good to see a Marshall keeping track of the course.

Good Challenge

This course offers 27 holes. But, it seems like every time I play it's the same 18. Pace of play is good, although there is no regard to course etiquette for the single player in front of me. The Marshall should enforce equally including members.

Greatest Course I Ever Played So Far!

I was on my last 3 days of my 2 week Florida vacation and I had been using Golf Now to help with great courses near my areas of visit. Orlando was our last stop and stayed at the Hyatt Grand and with a view of the golf course from the 9th floor the course looked immaculate. Got the blessing to play at the WA Golf Club and was not disappointed at all. The price was well worth the experience (PGA Tour like). Very challenging holes with elevated greens, lots of sand bunkers and the fairways and greens were the best I've ever experienced. The layout of the course was the best I have seen. The staff was very helpful and professional especially the cart lady. Gave me a cold wet towel to cool my head off due to extreme heat and humidity. Thank you Waldorf Astoria Golf Club staff for the best Pro Like course experience, You will not be disappointed. (Note: I was informed that the greens were aerated, which was nice to know ahead of time. But, the experience was worth it.)

Great Country Club Course

On vacation visiting family and play some of Florida's great golf courses. This course is a must play but watch out on hole 3 (par 3), which is near a residential area. Teens will be hiding near the green and will steal your ball after the tee shot. Other than that its a wide open, free from tree lines and thick fescue. Excellent fairways and greens that are well kept. This is a course I will definitely come back to again.

Greates Chalange

On vacation from TX to visit family and immediately was impressed on how this courses layout was designed. This is a course that I took for granted on tee shots, thinking I hit them straight towards the fairways. But, noticed there was a marsh or wetlands that were being used as hazards. I am used to bunkers in Texas and this course cost me dearly on tee shots. Front 9, lost 4 balls on tee shots. You have to be precise on drives. Only if the scorecard had a map layout, I would have an idea how to play the holes. But, this is a definite repeat course for next family visit.
